Perhaps this will help you out with the situation; this is from a previous post. I know for sure your audio chip's device/vendor id is 0x266e8086. This is a fix for someone with FreeBSD-6.2; even though the person suggests to grab the compiled modules, he also has the sources there. This person had the same issues with volume, and this fixed the problem. I hope this helps.

Ok. Lets make it quick and simple. Grab both (I repeat: BOTH) sound.ko
and snd_ich.ko from http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/test/ .

Let me guess. mixer "phout" and "ogain" control both \
headphone and
speaker separately, while mixer "vol" seems useless. Prove me wrong.

I'm wondering why is it that no matter what I do, I can't seem to make
my laptop emit sound lounder than a whisper.  The laptop is an ECS
Elitegroup W330 (Arima W330-UCX) and this is the website of the
laptop: http://www.arimacorp.com/ViewProduct.asp?View=145

I thought at first there was no sound coming out at all, so what I did was I
plugged an external speaker to it and maxed out the volume via the
volume knob and set my mixer settings all to 100, then I was able to
hear sound from the speaker, but it's too weak to be of any good use.

The following is my configuration:

$ cat /boot/loader.conf | grep snd_
snd_ich_load="YES"

$ kldstat | grep snd_
 3    1 0xc0d30000 6f88     snd_ich.ko

$ kldstat | grep sound
 4    2 0xc0d37000 4a5ac    sound.ko

$ cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep pcm

I tried audacious, xmms, and mpg123 but I still get
the same behaviour.

What's causing this? Can anybody give pointers why
is this happening?

Thanks.

Can you show me the output of "pciconf -lv | grep -A4 ^pcm" ?
